Asm 275 / Asm275 Exam #2

A person with an ischio-pubic ramus ridge is male. One of the drawbacks of using the pubic symphysis to estimate adult age is that: It is easy to assess the age of an individual who is over 60 years old with great accuracy. Young individuals usually have a pubic symphysis that is: The sternal rib ends of older individuals are: 1. What important age sensitive anatomical feature is shown here? 2. What is sexual dimorphism? Assessing sex for female skulls for which the individual is older than 60 years can be difficult because: Sexual dimorphism means that males and females of a species differ physically. When measured, which of the following will produce the best stature estimate? Skin color differences in humans reflect: Which area of the skeleton conveys the most information about ancestry? Having a sharp nasal sill is associated with which ancestral affiliation? Which of the following is NOT indicative of young age? Typical adult age estimating techniques are based on: Which of the following is NOT indicative of male sex? The presence of a ventral arc is indicative of what forensically significant variable? Which method for estimating age at death in adult skeletons uses counts of whole and partial osteons to Alveolar prognathism is associated with which ancestral affiliation? The Fully Method of estimating stature uses measurements of: Sex assessment is based on the fact that 3. This is a very young individual, likely 20-25 years of age. is how close a measured value is to the actual value while is how close the measured The pubic symphysis of an older adult individual will appear: If we assume a racial view of human prehistory is a correct reflection of what actually happened in our past, 4. then this suggests there were long periods of geographic isolation separating different populations of humans. 5. To estimate the age of a number of individuals, a fellow member of your lab is placing all the skulls in relation to one another from youngest to oldest. This is an example of: It is not possible to estimate sex for an individual without a pelvis. A person with a ventral arc is male. Which of the following can NOT be used to estimate the sex of human remains? The ear-shaped joint between the sacrum and each os coxa is called the , and can be used 6. to estimate age at death in adult skeletons.
